ESPN: What to watch for in first College Football Playoff rankings

[LisaLT]

The CFP chairman is from the ACC. You can’t tell me that didn’t have a lot to do with Clemson being ranked number 4.

PS - that Boo guy is a moron.

Explosive offense and ability to come from behind = Good for tOSU.

Explosive offense but had to come from behind just to win = Not good for TCU.

Straight from the Chairman’s mouth.

He’s an idiot.

Hopefully we can win out and finish 5th

Greatness

It's fixed. Not until they expand to 12 do we have a chance.

Question. I would assume in that scenario tOSU would not be in their championship game, thus having one less game played than TCU. In that case, TCU should get the nod, IMO.

I'm afraid that was a trap and you walked into it. That's precisely what happened in 2014 in reverse. Hopefully your answer included "because they have a precedent for ranking this way".

It is rigged. Is there any Big 12 representative on that ridiculous committee?

 

[tcuwags]

Committee looking for balance between offense and defense. Really? I thought the balance was wins and losses. Maybe add SOS. Just win and we’re in.

 

[Dogfrog]

Where would UT be if they had our identical resume?

 

[TopFrog]

better strength of schedule and quality wins then Clemson and they get in the top 4. Wow.

OTOH I think our defense is seen as suspect. Shore that up and win out. Make them respect us.

 

[Cougar/Frog]

Wins over 3 loss teams and a loss is better than undefeated with wins over 2 loss teams.....hmmm

 

[Eight]

always wondered who was watching the infomercials at 3 in the morning and buying the crap being pitched to them

do any of you truly believe any of the [ Finebaum ] mentioned today matters other than to generate exactly what they got from it

The horned frogs are a better team than most people realize. They simply have more talent with a coaching staff that doesn’t get in their way. I fully expect TCU to win out through the season and make the college playoffs. No joking on this.
I’m actually starting to look for Airbnb‘s etc. to rent for the college playoff final. I think we have a real chance of being there it’s time to get ready.

 

[HornyWartyToad]

if a team goes undefeated with an average defense should they be disqualified from the playoff?

Depends. What conference are they in?

 

[LisaLT]

I’m actually not really surprised at being ranked number 7. I kinda expected that. I hope this give motivation to the team to kick some Tech ass this weekend.

The AD from Kansas State.

 

[HFrog1999]

Sorry, after 2014 I vowed never to care about the stupid fake College Football “Playoff”

Just give me a good Bowl Game

They’re never letting TCU in

IDK, that band he was in was pretty awesome
